Episode 38- TED Talks with Laura Mathias! (Part 1)

"It is interesting that it took a global pandemic for me to start interrogating those feelings, but also isn't it interesting that while I was locked up in my house  I chose social media to first reveal that photo of my bald head.  I knew that I didn't have to confront anyone at work the next day in person, because I couldn't physically go anywhere.  It was the safest, weirdest way to do it..."

On this episode of Alopecia Connection, we're excited to chat with Laura Mathias. She's a U.K. based activist, Alopecia U.K. volunteer, ambassador, model, and influencer who shines a light on visible differences and acceptance through her alopecia journey.

Laura recently hit a big milestone by giving a TED Talk in London, where she shared the impact of her journey and the importance of celebrating differences.
